If you work remotely how can you tell if your company is monitoring you or taking screen recording/shots of what you are doing?

I remember reading an article somewhere that had a survey of a bunch of companies, and about 75% said they were monitoring employees screen activity. Not sure if that's actually accurate or not, but I'd be careful.

I agree that it's best to assume that they are watching in some capacity. If you are more curious, open up the Task Manager (assuming Windows machine) and see what processes are running and using up memory. If you see something you don't recognize, do a Google search for it from a different device and see what it does. Also check the Start-Up tab to see what programs boot up when you turn on your computer.

I have a wealthfront account with ~30k that has made about 10% in 2 years. I am convinced that the market will crash this year so I have an inclination to pull that money out of the account. Nowadays we have access to so much more information that a crash can almost be anticipated IMO. Is it worth the tax to pull it out, sit until the crash and reinvest? I know this is not traditional, just curious about the bowls opinions
